BURNING RED

Prologue

I'm dedicating this chapter to my friend, loyal reader and commentator Laika Cello. Thank you so much. Sa lahat.

WARNING: MILD SPG (HEAVEN)

When we finished our dinner, the boys paid for our bill then asked us to go.

I had my car with me so I insisted on driving on my own. That gaga didn't want to ride with me so she went with Carl. I hope hindi sila liliko. Sasabunutan ko talaga siya.

When we arrived at the bar, it was jam packed. Good thing, they reserved a VIP room on the second floor for us so we don't have to mix with sweaty smelling people.

Bryce was behind me when we got to the VIP room. There I found five males and six females. 

Napataas ang isa kong kilay.

Oh ano to? Ako lang ang walang kapartner? Impossible naman yong isa dito ang wala, eh sila yung nagplano nang party na to.

I felt my insides churned. This really would be a long night I swear. I sighed.

Merida and Carl was already inside talking to them when we went near the crowd. Luminya sila habang binabati nila si Bryce. Byce then introduced them to me one by one. They were all his colleagues and all of them were working with the same big company.

Sa hulian ng linya ay napansin ko ang babaeng maganda at mala model ang katawan na may kakaibang tingin sa katabi ko. Hindi ko mapigilang tutukan siya ng pansin. She had her long bleached blonde hair curled and had these big boobs. Tanned skin and foreign.  She was so pretty na mapagkakamalan mong retokada.

Nang ipakilala ako ni Bryce sa babae ay saglit lang niya akong sinulyapan at ibinalik na agad ang tingin sa lalaki.

I imagined myself rolling my eyes on her. Kaimbyerna.

Nang hatakin niya si Bryce sa braso ay tinalikuran ko na sila.

Obviously.. ako ang walang partner dito kaya mas maiging uminom na lang ako.

Sa pangalawa kong shot ng tequila ay naramdaman kong may naupo sa armrest ko. It was Bryce.

Napalingon ako sa dati nilang pwesto. Napailing ako ng makita ko yung girl na matalim na nakatingin sa akin.

Damn.. ayoko ng away.

"Anong ginagawa mo? Ang sakit makatingin nong kadate mo, mamaya kalbuhin nya ako dito." I whispered.

He chuckled huskily.

Damn.. ang sexy.

Bakit lahat ng ginagawa niya sexy na para sa akin? May sira na ata ako sa utak? Or tinamaan na ako ng cocktail kanina?

"Well, you're officially my date tonight. They didn't tell me about Sandra." He explained. 

So kung wala pala ako.. sila ang magkapartner talaga? Biglang may bumangong inis sa akin. I didnt know why..

"I'm good. Puntahan mo na siya. Kawawa naman, siya na nga ang nagprepare nito siya pa ung walang iuuwi." I said nonchalantly. Pilit na pilit kong gawing blangko ang aking mukha.

"Baby, I intend to take you home and make you pass out like you want me to do."he whispered and then crouched down to blew on my ear. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at nanigas ang aking katawan.

Damnation.

"S-seriously?" I cleared my throat when I stuttered.

"Uh huh.." he then pulled my body closer to his.

Tinulak ko siya ng bahagya. Talagang inaakit ako nito.

Mabilis akong nag isip ng sasabihin. And I wanted to regret what I've said next. "Pass muna ako. You can go to her. I'm actually not in the mood for sex tonight. I'm good." Then I lifted the shot glass to show him I'm fine.
